What did I learn in this course

This course was very useful to me that improved my skills and I learned many different words. Moreover, we did a lot of exercises such as, listening, reading, writing and speaking. Working with group team it wasn't that much good. Because, everyone care about theirselves. To me I prefer to work by myself to improve my English skills. Because, when I work with other students they didn't let the other students to do the work with less discussions. I really enjoyed in this level because, I have a great teachers. Before I enter this class, I wasn't have enough background about IELTS. But, with my great teachers they taught me everything about IELTS that helped me to do the exam. Also in writing the sir always gives me his feedback about my writing that can improve my writing skills to not repeat the same mistakes. I think this course was very important for me, because if I pass this level I will inter to general. So, I have to work hard to pass this level.    

This course

In this course we studying in level 8 and it is a good and exciting level more than anyone because that is the final or last one. Then we will go to study in the general courses which are a new, different and hard. There are two teachers teach us in this level who are mr. Robert for grammar and writing skills and mr. Michel for reading and speaking skills. However, this course is includes and focus on writing and speaking skills so that help us to improved in our skills. Also, we should do and take the  ILETS exam which is determine the level of our english if we bad, good or perfect and most of the students got 5 or 5.5 score. After that we do the ISP that is the presentation work of the students in what they learn during the course or in specific topic associated with the lessons. Finally, we learn and knew many good things and we hope to help us to be perfect in the second and the international language which is the English.   

My online friend

Hey !! 

This is our last blog we going to do , so I wanted it to be something different maybe .

I'll talk about my online friends and my experience of having one . First of all , I wasn't allowed to use the internet until I'm 15 , so at the age of 15 I started to use MSN . I didn't really have  people I don't know In MSN so I didn't really meet anyone from other countries . However last year I made an account on Instagram and in my bio I had my kik . That's when I had my friend online friend sam ( Samantha) she is half American and half Japanese , she's 14 but when we start talking the first time she told me she's 16 for some weird reason but I remember her crying while texting me saying  that she actually lied and actually 13 and i didn't mind her lying to be honest because she respected me and accepted me for being Muslim and never made fun of me or send hate like how others  did on the intern   . After months of us talking and exchanging funny videos we decided to Skype . She's not allowed to neither do I , but we did it anyway and it was so awkward but we are over that and we snapchat all the time and make funny faces . (That's shows how we are comfortable with each other )We are friend for 1 year now and I can see that it will last longer . 

My favourite restaurant

Mzlai restaurant is one of my favourites restaurants in Abu Dhabi. I have visited many resturand around the gulf area, Mzlay has always been at the top of the list for many reasons. Starting with its unique name, its the traditional emarati term for door lock. It serves a various of delicious local dishes such as Freed, Hrees, Bryani and machboos. Head chef Ali Salem, makes the perfect traditional dishes such as Madfoun, btheet, chbab, and shrimp hamsa. Each dish is well made with fresh ingredients which you can taste with each bite. Mezlai staff are not only dressed up like locals, but they are so genuinely friendly. They truly represent the Arabian hospitality. The Emarati cuisine goes perfectly with the restaurant atmosphere. The welcoming staff will show you around a different setting areas indoors and outdoors. The traditional Emarati theme live up to the Emarati culture because its tastefully arranged. It was the perfect restaurant to spend my last birthday in. I ordered the shrimp hamsa along with beryani rice. It was perfect. I went outdoors to enjoy the traditional tea " Karak" near the fountain. It was a great getaway since its so quite. I will defiantly visit Mezlai again to try the rest of their well loved dishes. 

Level 8

In the beginning of the course I was unblessed about my situation because I shouldn't miss my equivalency exam. But when I attend the first class and I see that my old classmates are with me I really accept the class and the fact that I skip my equivalency. 

The whole course was amazing, even our study time. In this course I had a two of the good teachers and I improved in several sides in english. One of the best things in these two sires is the sense of humor that make the lesson more fun. My grades in this level are good but I am worried about the final exam and I am just rowing my life with the feeling that am going to fail in the level.

In this level I did had a lot of time full of information and joyful. It was a nice level but am glade that am didn't pass it. 

My dream job

Job is a very important thing in our lives. I want to be a nurse since I was a child. I always saw an amazing movies about good doctors and nurses. It is my dream job. I like to be a nurce for different reasons. First reason is I like to study medical sciences so much. It is something I think I will feel happy when I study it.

It is a great job. My parents advice me to be a nurse. They will be a proud of me if I finish my studya. I hope to graduate from Zayed University soon because I want to work in my dream job.

VINE

Vine is an app on any smartphone and iPads. You can watch all kinds of videos in this random app. It has a lot of categories like comedy, art and experimental, animals, family, beauty and fashion, food, health and fitness, nature, music and news. I always pick comedy cause they make me laugh till my stomach hurts. I think US teenagers use it the most because they're in every video. Those teenagers become famous from their funny videos. Everywhere I go they keep asking me if I know this app or not. Its spreading all over the world. If I was sad or feeling bad I just enter vine to watch funny videos to turn my mood up and laugh instead of feeling down. Sometimes I use it to see some art cause it has amazing artists. Every video is maybe 8 seconds long. I'm glad vine app is popular because its an epic one.    

This course

This course was different course the the other levels. It was easy but at the same time difficult. At the beginning i felt relive because i saw my friends who was with me in level 7 and its good because i know them and they are so kind.This course was difficult because of the vocabulary, the words were new and the spilling it kind of hard.In this course we took reading practice, listening and writing for the ILETS. The worst thing in this course for me was the LDA, I don't know why was it hard for me, and i didn't answer it well and even my grades were bad. But the good thing is the ILETS, because of Mr.Robert and Meachal the exam was good because they helped and teach me how to have good writing, also the listening i think i did it very good because of Mr. Robert he told me to say stories and talk more to have good grade. The course didn't finish, but I hope I can pass it with having the ILETS.

Famine

Famine is the result of a process of free market.It is a huge issue to talk about the scarcity of food is a really big deal.famine is considered the case of increasing death rates.Millions of people are dying each year.It a serious humanitarian crisis that we hear about specially in Africa.Woman,men even children are loosing their soul. There are lots  of victims  of food crisis which is threatening  thousands of people.Health problem are increasing children are suffering.Africa is drowning help is needed in short time quick as possible.It's scary how does every year, 15 million children die of hunger.Hunger is the single biggest solvable problem facing the world today. 2.6 billion people live on less than $2.00 a day, meanwhile the average American lives on $130 a day and that is a fact from lots of studies done.People should think wisely about finding a solution.However, the bigger the problem gets there is a limit to stop.Shelters,food,water and clothes must be provided quickly for those poor people.A series plan should be made for Africa to survive.Famines reduce the size of the population,so to increase the size of the population food must be available.To find improvement or a change support from international aid agencies and red cross must take an action.They can make a difference as a volunteer to help them stay alive.

Best holiday ever.

I did many things in the holiday and I'm going to talk about a few things. First, the best thing in my holiday was when my best friend came from U.S. For example, when she came, we went to the beach and we had a lot of fun together. Secondly, my relatives and I had a BBQ party. One day my family and I were so bored and we wanted to do something special or different and then we decided to have a party. Moreover, my friends and I went to the mall and we do thing together such as, shopping, watching a movie and while we were eating dinner we were talking about funny things. I had a lot of fun with them. It was the best holiday ever because I was with my sisters, friends and I saw my best friend and I was with her all the time until she went back to U.S.

School

Graduating from the school was what i wanted the most in the school days. I wanted the days to pass quickly. The days where passing slowly in the first term but then it statred to pass fast, i was happy but at the same time sad because it is the last year wih my firends, also because were are not going to be together as much as school days because we are going to different places to study. Sure we are going to meet each other , but not as before,we were spending most of the time with them in the class, breaks , and also in our projects. not just that also we were doing the same jackets with our names, signs amd seniors 2013. A the last term we were making a memories to rember. When the teacher punish one girl we all laugh and took photo of her or video and she dosen't know that , also when someone fall or someyhing funny happy the camera is always their. Before the last day, we did a movie that talks about our days at grade 12. All the pictures and viedios were their some of the girls we crying and some were lughing but it was really the best days ever.

My family

My family is my life. They let me feel very happy by just having them around me. I live with my mother, father, and my sibling. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. My biggest sister is married and she's studying and working in the same time. She's my biggest sibling and she and I are very closer to each other than the other, we share our problems together and have a lots of funny moments. On the other hand, my second sister is very calm and kind of lonely. However, she's very kind and she forgives me a lot when I do something wrong to her. We live in villa that contains 7 rooms and 3 living rooms and kitchen also swimming pool. Lately, we transfer to this house and we feel very comfortable in it than the previous house.  

My second brother

I am first daughter in my family. And I have 5 brother younger than me and no sister. I will talk about my second brother who is Abdullah because I think he is my best friend in the house. I like and love all my brothers but I like him more than the others because he is helpful person. He always helps me if I need it like when I study or when I do my home works and projects. Moreover, he usually understand me and listen to my problems and helps me to solve it. If we have free time, we spent our times to do some activities like playing football, watching movies and go outside. Abdullah always respect me because I am the big sister. Sometimes, he makes me laugh with his jokes. He is good and smart student. He is study in ATHS in Mohammed bin zayed city. So that's why I like my second brother so much.    

IELTS

Yesterday was my first IELTS exam, and It was really horrible. I was afraid of the exam. I arrived there at 7:30 am and our exam was at 8:00 am, so I was on time. However, we started about 10:30 am. We started with the listening and I missed the last part. I don't know why, but I was really nervous and afraid. I didn't know what to do. I wrote things from my mind. After that we did the reading. The time was not enough for me. I was on the first page and it took me 20 minutes to answer one question and I'm not sure about it. I decided to move on and just answer the questions. I don't know but I feel that I didn't do very well because I just chose the letters without knowing what I'm doing. The last part is the writing, but It was fine. I did it before the time finished. However, when I finished the exam I felt like I could have done better and maybe I wrote about something they did not ask about or my opinion was not good enough. I feel so sad and I hope that I will pass the exam even with 5. I will be happy and satisfied.

Pilot

Being a pilot isn't just about transforming people from country to country. Its about being so full of courage to drive planes that are full of people who put their life in risk just to travel from a place to another. A pilot should be trained for years just so the airways can trust them to transform those who need to travel. Its about having the strength and being a pilot has a lot of benefits. The benefit is to help people to travel from a long distance place to another because they can reach those places in a short amount of time instead of riding trains, cars and busses that takes hours to reach to a certain country or a place. I picked this career because it benefits me in a lot of ways such as getting a high salary that can help me live a better life and to travel to countries that I never been to.

Gardening

Gardening is a hobby and not everyone would like to have this kind of hobby. However, having a garden is always good in many aspects. You would have a beautiful garden near you with lots of flowers and plants, that would make your surrounding look great . Having good and fresh air, would be more eco-friendly and provide space to other living creatures too.It is really nice to be in the garden during the early mornings and evenings. Lots of fresh air and wonderful scented smell from the flowers fill the air and make it really great. When we spent some time in the garden, it make us feel so fresh that we could start any work with lots of energy and a fresh mind.No matter what the end product is, gardening is a stress reliever and a wonderful time pass.

My family

I life with my both parents.Also, i have four sisters and 4 brothers.Last week my oldest brother got married .I think  living with family area has a lot benefnts .Foe example they help you to solve your problems and tell you the right thing to do .Inadition, i agree that you cant live without your family because they are always by your side no matter what you did. I really thank my god for having them in my live and hopeing i dont wanes a day without them .Two month ago my father had an accident and he heart his back .He stayed at the hospital for three week and he couldn't move until now .Sometimes i feel so responsible to my youngest sisters and i have to help the when they need it .My mother don't work even she want to but she take her children in first place.        

Mum

Mum means the world to me.she is the light to my path that's why we'll never be apart.She knows how to cheer me up,and let me forget about my problems.People wonder why are mothers important,they should notice that without them we wouldn't be breathing right now.Mothers are supportive,forgiving,emotional and loving and thats why they're important to us.My role model in life is mum,because she have done alot to gain the respect she has right now.To mum i'll always be her little angel.When she is around there's no where else,i'd rather be.I think every mum should be treated right because she is valuable and we couldn't replace her.I thank god for having my mun and i wouldn't replace her for the whole world if i could.

Dreams

Once i had a nightmare , like 1 month ago .That I'm at my cousins . It was night time and I'm alone up stairs , so I decided to look  for everyone but no one was around . I went down and still couldn't fine anyone around then i started to panic calling everyone but no response . I started to run around their house screaming and calling and it was so dark I had to feel the walls to find the door . I found the main door and went out and there's no one but me , there were no life or human being but me . There were no sounds of kids or even cars , it was quiet that I felt my ears were about to explode and I keep screaming and shouting for someone , anyone . I really felt the need to me next to someone , but all what I've  heard  is the sound of my own voice.

I remember when I woke up I were alone on my bed . I thought the dream was real . I ran down stairs so fast to find my family all gathered eating fruits ...I felt so safe again .

It takes me few minuts to realize that I'm not dreaming.

And actually I were sick that day .

Sleep deprivation

Every creature in this world needs to sleep, so the human body needs a certain amount of hours to get rest. Children should get 10 hours of sleep, and it gets lower when you grow up which means an adult should have 7-8 hours of sleep. If the human body dose not get enough sleep, that may affect the performance of the body negatively. There are many people these days who suffer from sleep deprivation either at school or work.

The human-being nature force us to get rest to work appropriately, sleep deprivation can happen because of using phones and watch TV instead of sleep and don't have much time to finish the tasks. So suffering from sleep deprivation can lead to serious  health and behavior problems, which is going to affect badly on the performance of the body.  To avoid sleep deprivation take the phones and TVs out of the bedroom and organizing the day time.

My addicton.

My phone is my only route to the social network. Its a device that can lead to a lot of problems but it can be solved by using it in the right way or planning to use the phone in the right amount of time. Some of the people make the phone something beneficial thing for the society. In my experience I use the social network like instagram and twitter to see some exercises so I can do them at home instead of going to the gym everyday. This is a perfect way for me to contact my friends and to meet some new friends but having new friends has limits. My phone is literally my main addiction cause its the only way I can stay in touch with the world. I can't ever live without my phone. I know it sounds funny and kind of creepy but its the only thing I depend on in life.   

chocolate

Chocolate is food that made of seed of a tree called theobroma cacao. Now you can see chocolate in almost all desserts such as candy , pudding, cakes and crepes. There are many types of chocolate but the most commons are milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. People like chocolate because of its taste and think it has many calories, however they do not know that chocolate actually has so many benefits, the most important one is that it prevents heart-attacks and many similar health problems. Also it makes people more happier and reduce stress. New study says that it protect us from the sun. In Addition it raise people IQ. On the other hand Eating large amounts of chocolate can do more harm than good, no matter how good it tastes. The effect of eating too much chocolate is calories. Other side effects include dental problems related to the high sugar content. Its good to eat chocolate  from time to time but not to over eat it.

My best friend

I have a lot of friends and I have six best friends but there is one of them who I adore the most. Dana is my best friend who I can not live without. She is 18 years old. She studies in HTC. I met her in grade ten. I know her since 2010. She is so lovely. I love her because she always tries to make me happy. When I need anything she is the one who helps me. She is always here when I need her. She is the best. She cares about me and she always asks about me. We study in two different places but we always see each other and connect with each other. I am happy that I have her in my life. She means a lot to me. I wish that I can keep her for along time and I wish that I can make her happy like she always does. 

Funny

I laugh when something is funny, and many things make me laugh a lot and make me happy. First, I laugh when I see a comedy movie. For example, five years ago I was in Marina Cinema with my friends and we saw an Egyptian movie. It was a funny movie. And we laughed a lot. Also, I laugh when I see someone fall. When someone falls, I can't stop laughing. It is an embarrassed situation and I laugh so much. I remember the first day in Zayed University when my best friend fell because she didn't sea the doorstep. The other thing I laugh about is a jocks with my family. I laugh when I sit with my family because we tell each other funny stories, and my father tells us stories about when he was a child. He has very funny stories and he makes me laugh. When I see funny things I laugh a lot.

Best friend

Most of people are able to have hundreds of friends. But there is only one friend who really has a big part in your life, that is a best friend. My best friend is the person who shares the wonderful moments with me. Her name is Amal Mohammed. She is 19 years old. Her birthday on January. She lives in AlAin and studies in United Arab Emirates university. She wants to live in a quit and simple life and she want to be engineer in the future. Amal knows many things about me ,also she knows when I feel happy and when I feel sad. However, she knows how to comfort and help me. She is like me and I am  like her. We understand each other and we will always do,because we know each other very well. Also we will always stay together. Amal is a nice and lovely person. The best friend who is be able to share, support and love her partner. 

Positivity

  In life you may experience many problems and bad situation. Nevertheless, you should always look at the brighter side of things. Some people choose to reflect on the negative instead of the positive, which causes things to look worse than they may seem. Your happiness is based on how you look at situations. I believe that staying positive is one of the main keys to success and happiness.A person who has a positive attitude doesn’t let everything, effect there mood. They always look for the good in situations. They may also try to turn negative situations positive. People with positive attitudes are focused, less stressed and seemingly wiser. People who stay positive are more open and willing. Positivity makes everything seem better and is emotionally needed to deal with life. Being a positive person, or being around one, can cause you to be happier and actually brighten up your mood or day. One thing about becoming a more positive person is you have to learn how to react to certain situation and keep a steady positive attitude.

My birthday

Thinking about the past remind me of a lot of memories. One of the best memory is my birthday, we were on our way to study chemistry every thursday in other school. It was the next day of my birthday and we were in bus sitting and chatting. Suddenly all the girls started to come and sit back with us. My best friend came and she was holding cake and they all started singing so i sang with them without knowing for who. While we were singing i asked my friends who's birthday is today and she said that its for you. At this moment i felt like i want to jump from the bus because i felt so shy. Then they started to but some of the cake on my face and it was cold because it was half ice cream and we ate it all together and it was the best birthday ever with my classmates.

Weird things

Nowadays, weird means  perfect to teens.people can be weird in lots of ways and it can be noticeable.It's amazing how can a silly action even a crazy thing can spread,so quickly.I believe that,the cause of it has spread,because of the new generation mind open.It considered a great thing,but it some time get's over the edge.weird things are fun to do spicily around beloved ones.To enjoy the moment and feel like you don't care.Weird things are what you can do crazily and not infront of every one else.Just to forget everything and live the moment.

Colors can change your mood.

Colors in general have different meaning in my feelings and in my nature. First, colors in the house can effect my feelings. For example, if the living room have a light colors it can effect my feelings in a good way and makes me feel calm and relaxed. Secondly, colors in my clothes can effect me and change my mood in a good or bad way. For example, if I'm not in the mood I prepare to choose the blue or black in my clothes and everything around me, because these colors have an amazing memory in my life. Also, because my best friend like these colors and every time when I wear these colors in my clothes I remember the good time I spent it with her and it makes me feel happy and I feel that she's around me. Finally, I think that the colors effect my emotions and can change my feelings from sadness to happiness or from nervous to comfortable.

The perfect day

I had a perfect day off last Friday. I woke up at 11:00 a.m. I spoke with my friend on the phone for half an hour. After that, I had a cup of coffee at 12:00 a.m. I went to the mall. After that, I had lunch in my favorite restaurant, Sheck Shack, in Dalma Mall at 3:30 p.m. After that I went to my grandfather's house at 5:45 p.m. We had a lot of fun and I took my little sister to buy a gift for her best friend at 6:55 p.m. After that, my sisters and I we went to our friend's house and we had a BBQ party at 8:20 p.m and we had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed my time with them. After all of that, we went home at 12:00 p.m and I went to bed at 1:25 a.m after I talked with my friend on the phone. 

Recycling

There are many ways to keep our environment clean and healthy. If you want to protect our world from pollution and keep it healthy you should follow these steps correctly. we should tell all the people in the community how important to live in a healthy world and we must do a lot of announcement about recycling in the schools and universities and in any place and  we should put many trashes for recycling in every place. For example, we should put trashes in the schools and universities because the students will be happy to make a better place in the world. we should put many kinds for recycling. For example, rubbish for glass and rubbish for plastic and different rubbishes. If we want to throw the rubbish ,we should throw it in a true rubbish.In the past people have a lot of pollution in their countries because they don't have a lot of money to recycle.

Last Holiday

Last holiday was a very interesting holiday. First, I traveled Oman with my sweet family. We visited my grandmother in Oman and we stayed in her house. We enjoyed so much. For example, we went to the mountain, and we saw a lot of green trees. Second, we came back to Abu Dhabi, and we went to Dubai. I spent a nice time in Dubai with my family. We visited many places in Dubai. For example, we went to Dubai Mall. We sat in a beautiful restaurant in Dubai Mall and we ate Italian food. Third, I spent time with my Zu friends. We went to the beach and we swam. I had beautiful days with them. For example, we went to the cinema and we saw a nice movie. Finally, I stayed with my cousins and we watched TV. Last holiday was very wonderful.

My uncle

I have five uncles and I love them all , but there is one uncle who I love the most. Omar is my favourite uncle. He is 27 years old. He is lovely. I love him because I feel happy when I sit with him and I can tell him whatever I want. I'm not afraid that he will misunderstand me. When I ask him for something he never says no to me. I always go out with him . We spend a lot of time with each other. Two years ago he got married and I love his wife. She is his cousin. Nothing changed when he got married. We still talk to each other. Actually I spend time with his wife too. We are friends now. We always talk to each other about many things. She is the best. I love these two because they love me and they are so kind and lovely to me. They always try to help me when I need help. Also, they always ask about me.  

Family

  Family is where we all belong to and from where our identity comes from. A person is valued based on his family and upbringing. We all belong to a family and it is our family that keeps us together through thick and thin. Without having a family, no person is complete and the completeness comes with good family bonding.Nobody can deny the fact that nothing is more important than a family. You may not realize how momentous a home is when you're small, but when you become more mature , you'll realize that family really means everything to you. First of all, it's where your life begins and the love you are given truly never dies. It's the place where you are loved for who you are, therefore, you're free to be yourself. Second, you can always count on the members of your family. They have been there for you since the day you were born and there's no reason for them to leave you when you grow up. They are the ones who always stand by you, help you face the problems and difficulties you have to solve in your life. They're the ones who teach you the value of love, gratitude, truthfulness and self-confidence. Despite those tough experiences you have to suffer in life which may not come to your expectations, your family will always stand by your side and help you deal with them. They make sure that you know a family means no one is left behind or forgotten. Last but not least, your family help improve your personalities. Being raised in a good family let you have a good head start which will be a huge benefit for you later in the future. 

A close friend

A close friend means a lot to me.She is the one that will fight for my rights,believes in me,stay faithful and ignores who hate me.A close friend is the one that will stuck with me.Friendship is hard to find nowadays.It needs to be treasured and cherished because its valuable.It's not only about hanging out and enjoying time it's also about sharing moments together.Every person have a close friend but it's about who value what they have together.Because with them we share interests and secrets.A close one will stay supportive and will understand me. Although there are many friendship around,its different in every place,but it depends on the person.To be happier and to avoid fear people should find a friend that won't jude them.It's important to have a close friend not everyone understands it,they only need to search for one.

Words can hurt more than a broken bone

So this thing have been bothering me lately , how much people can be ignorant and shame less . They will be like " ew you look ugly with your new hair cut " " are you stupid ?"( and many other names that I can't post it ...but yeah) . Like it's only words right ? But it might really get to this person and they'll be hurt and honesty it's hurt more than being beaten up physically . Words can not be taken back . What is already have been said will always be there , it will  move from someones mouth to other and no one will consider if it's a rumour or not . Even if it was real and not a lie , you should remain silent , you never know you might  be the one who will end it and safe the poor person from torturing and being afraid . I bit who start taking about anyone is the one who really desperate for attention and feel left out .

Just remember " who will try to put you down that's only mean you're above them " 

here's a video to make you feel why you're here right now for a reason :)

My own army

Life's not safe any more. Actually its force the humanity to be ready for any thing because anything could happen. To be armed is like to be strong, powerful and fearless and it's kind of difficult. Am a armed person,  yes I am, I have my own deferent strong army.

My army is quite unique, they are like an umbrella in a stormy day, like a bridge in a middle of crocodiles swamp and exactly like the use of the worrier shield when a strong hit is coming; my brothers even are more valuable than the words that I wrote before.
They seems to be tough as a personality because that's what man asked to be. However, they are full of emotions and they are wise people. They are one in a million, I never can imagine how my life is going to be without them and I ask the god to bless them.

Zayed University

University is my dream since I was in school. I chose Zayed University for different reasons . First, I chose Zayed University because it is a developed university in the UAE. Many students want to be in this university because it gives a good education. Second, I am in this university because there are a lot of an amazing majors and there are a lot of wonderful teachers in this university. They teach us a lot and I learn many new things in English from my lovely teachers. I want to complete in this university even I failed. It's a difficult university but I will work hard and I will advice my sister to enter Zayed University in future. I will get a job easily and high salary if I graduate from university. Finally, I wish to get high scores in Zayed University and I will work very hard for my future in Zayed University.

I have corrected the mistakes. 

Hamda 

What did I learn at Zayed University.

I will write about what did I learn at Zayed University. I have been studied at Zayed University since 2012. I start in level 4 which concentrate on writing skills. I had learn many things such as how to develop and change the ideas to be suitable with the situation. Also, I have learn the steps to be more confident when I want to present my presentation. In general, these levels improved my English language skills. I become more fluent in speaking, I can take a notes while I'm listening to the listening exam, my writing ideas become clearer and organized and I become more flexible in reading and I don't find it difficult to understand the words like before. In each level I met a wonderful teachers those whose thought me what they good at. All of the teachers can understand me and how I prefer to study inside the classroom, because I explain it for them, so as not to put myself in an embarrassing situation. However, to fell that I improving my skills I prefer to sit by myself while we doing the writing practices, grammar practices, reading or others practices. In this way I can try to figure out the answers and learn from my mistakes.    

Movies

Movies now a days become more  iterating and funnier than ever. I start to watch a lot of movies when i realize it helps me to improve my english.Also, i can-seder movies is a fun way to sped your free time with family.Moreover, one of my aim is to be an director  and make a lot of them because it s a part of my passion. However, some people think it s wist of time and i agree unless the person use it to send a message or to show how the real life is like in war or the life of poor people.there are a lot of great movies that i like,for example Dances with Wolves, Indiana jones and Braveheart .Actually, i think action movies and comedy are my favorite types of movies .Sometimes in the weekend my family and i go to the cinema and we enjoy it .Finely,I hope to a Shiv my gold,become  good director who work hard and i will do my best to help my country. 

Dreams

 Dreams are the most amazing things in life , we all love to dream and we all love to hope and to see ourselves getting better and better each day.Everyone of us dreams of being something and tries to achieve his goals , everyone has his own resolutions and has something to look up to and to reach.However, some people may say that dreams are hard to follow and it's impossible to be able to achieve your dreams.But, that's actually not true , because our dreams are in our hands , we are the ones that can control them and make them real.For me, I Look up to many things during my life such as : learning english and be good at it , completing my studies and improving my self at any field during my life , I really can't stop dreaming I think it is really great to dream and to live your life trying to reach your hopes .All you have to do is to set your goals in front of your eyes and work as hard as you can to reach your points .There's no doubt that there will be times when you feel like giving up , but no don't give up on yourself just stand up and try even if you have to try for a thousand time but keep trying . Everytime you feel lost and confused just dream again of the person you would be if you worked hard for your goals.Moreover, I believe that it's better to put a plane for yourself to follow .First, you have to write down what your resolutions are and then find out what does it take to reach them.

In conclusion, set your dreams right in front of your eyes and work for them , and there's no doubt that you'll reach them someday.

Best friends

Every person need someone who can talk to about anything with out being shy, and keep their secret also bieng loyel and honest.

 Thats what best friends mean. Its a realation between two people or sometime three, which they can do everything together and they consider them as member of the family and know your weekness and how to make you happy and cheer you up. Best friends is like you but in in other soul.

But not every firendship is real, there are some fake people who attended others just because they need something.So we should chose the right friend that never cheat on us or shere everything with and support us at the at the hard time. 

My best friend

Having a best friend just makes my life complete. I love the way they make me laugh till my stomach aches, the way they make me smile like there is no tomorrow. They are here whenever I need them and they help me whenever I go through hard times. I was a normal, boring person until I met those people who now I call my best friends. No matter how much we argue we end up missing each other like we didn't talk in years. My best friends are like stars I can't see them but I know they are there for me. We act like we are related because nobody understands me like they do. A friend or a best friend always leave but a best friend always find their way back. My best friend always believe in every little thing I do thats why I appreciate my good, awesome and unique life that is filled with them. I thank god for their helpful existence. my life would be nothing without them.

Zayed University

University is my dream since I was in school. I chooses Zayed University for different reasons . First, I chooses Zayed University because it is a developed university in the UAE. Many students want to be in this university because it gives a good education. Second, I am in this university because there are a lot of amazing majors and there are a lot of wonderful teachers in this university. They teach us a lot and I learn many new things in English from my lovely teachers. I want to complete in this university even if I failed. It's difficult university but I will work hard and I will advice my sisters and brothers to enter Zayed University in future. I will get work easily and high salary if I  graduate from university. Finally, I wish to get high scores in Zayed University and I will work very hard for my future in Zayed University.  

Shopping

Firstly, shopping is a necessary thing  in the modern life, because we need things to using such as: food, clothes, shoes, and other things. However, shopping would get too dull if it became my daily routine. I feel nervous when I can't find what I want. Sometimes shopping can be time when you feel relaxed, and sometimes you feel angry.
Secondly, I have to talk about looking after money. Sometimes I spend my money too quickly, but now I am trying spending the money wisely. I want to have money all the time, but I lose it quickly if I buy something whenever I have a lot of money. that if I spend all the money today, tomorrow I cannot buy anything.Nonetheless everyone wants to be richer and happier. My family probably would be happier if we were very wealthy, but money is not the most important thing, and now we are living well.

Finally, shopping is important and part of our life because we can find everything we need it and use it.

My dreams

Achieving your dreams is like catching stars. Each person should have dreams and future to think about it. From my childhood, I always wanted to be a business woman and have my own business to rule. Being a business woman will allow me to have a powerful position and control many other position. Also it will help me to build my country's future and build my personality. I want to open my own clothing line that share both our traditional cloths with western touch, so I will creat own trade mark. My second dream is to build a family and raise my children the way I was raised. I want to teach them how to be independent and creative on their own way.

Stupid things

 

  From the title you can see that I'll write about things that irritate me or things that people do I think it's really not necessarily . Firstly why we have to pour cornflakes then the milk why not the other way around ? Why people are programmed to do the same things and if someone broke that he is abnormal ? And surly will be judged . Why people judge a person by the way you dressed , the way you speak , the way you walk even the way you live ? We only live once right ? I don't say we should do bad things to feel a live , but what I say is why we hold our selfs from what will make us feel better about our selfs and show the best of us for people and feel happy and not tied . Sometimes we do the right thing but it feels so wrong and we do the wrong thing and it feels so right . Most what irritate me why people label things ? You're a girl don't do that , don't wear that it's boyish and same goes for the guys , why boys can't love the colour pink but girls are allowed to love blue ? Women want their right but sometimes men do to . But that how life is , if you act different you're the abnormal but why not to be called special ?

My favourite pet

There are many pets that i like but my favourite one is the cat. I like cats because they are so lovely. I want to have one in my home but my parents do not allow that. They said it can effect your health in a bad way. I think that cats are beautiful and cute. They will not effect our health if we take care of them and take them to the hospital to cheek their health. We have to be sure that they are healthy. Cats are so helpful. They do not need a lot of care. Cats can learn quickly. They can do many things. For example, cats can open the door for themselves also they clean themselves. Cats are independent and they do not bother people. Also, cats might feel very early vibrations or sense the increase in static electricity that occurs before a quake. I wish to have cat in my home. 

Chances

It's hard to get what you want easly, specially if its kind of impossible. 

But no matter how much life gets harder there is still something called "chances". 

A Chance is the opportunity to make what you want become true.

Chances are like a bridge between where you are standing and where the thing that you want stands.

Life is fair, that means one day for you and the other it's against you and there is nothing you can do about it. 

Facing a chance is something extraordinary, specially if it got in front of you suddenly and you didn't go searching for it, it just came to you.

In the end, don't you ever miss your turn, when ever you obtain one get hold of it and exploit it because you don't have the guarantee of getting another one in the future. So the moment you get a chance that will make a difference in your life just take advantage of it and forget your past.

My Hobbies

My hobbies are writing poems,riding horses and traveling.Everyone has their own special hobby to do.writing poems is my favorite thing to do.The best thing People can write about anything and anyone as well.There's plenty of subjects to write about. However,poetry should be rhyming,so that the audiences feel it as well as the writer of the poem explain it. My second best hobby is for sure riding horses.With horseback riding you should be prepared to fall off ,but you need to get back up and try again.Horseback riding is a activity i enjoyed doing in the past.I would like to do it again but my parents wouldn't agree,because to them it isn'the best selection. My last hobby is traveling.Traveling can be relieving and helps boost my mood. To me i feel like i'm achieving a level of peace and relaxtion.while traveling  people can learn a new language and face lots of challenges.By traveling you get to prove to yourself you can do lots of stuff you'r surprised of doing,and that's the amazing part. People should find a list of various activities and choose from it what can be suitable for them. Hobbies can be active or brainy and both provide enjoyment. The active onces are like camping,riding horses moreover car racing. Brainy hobbies are the onces that make you intelligent for people who love playing puzzles. I love my hobbies alot and i won't replace them at all.

Hi

Week 1 Blog post - due Sunday 16th Feb

Hi again,
For week 1 please write 150 words on a topic of your choice. The grammar we need to focus on this week is subject verb agreement.

Good luck and remember to be careful of your grammar.

Welcome

Hi all,
This blog is about improving your writing accuracy. Each week you will need to post 150 words on a topic that interests you.

Each week you will get a grade based on the number of errors you make in one grammar area. 

If you make 0 mistakes, you will get 100%. If you make 1 mistake, you will get 90%. If you make 2 mistakes, you will get 80%. If you make 3 mistakes, you will get 70%. If you make 4 mistakes, you get 60% and if you make 5 or more mistakes, you will get 50%. I will grade on Sunday 2-4pm, so your writing must be in by then.

Copied work, or work that I think isn't your own will get 0% (please don't get your sister to help!). Work under 150 words will lose 20%.

After I have graded the work, you have 1 day, till Thursday 2pm, to find the mistakes. Each mistake you find and correct in a comment, will gain you 3%.

For example, if you wrote 150 words on a topic and I found 3 errors, you would get 70%. If by Thursday 2pm, you found and fixed 2 of the errors, you'd get an extra 6%. This would make your score 76%.

You will do 5 of these pieces of writing and I will average the 4 best scores you get.

Please feel free to write about anything, add photos and video- just be careful to write correctly.
